Would you like to install a new keyboard on your Dell Inspiron 9400 or E1705 laptop? It’s easy. Check out this keyboard replacement instructions. All you have to do is remove the keyboard bezel, remove two screws securing the keyboard (I marked them with red circles on the picture above), unplug the old keyboard from the motherboard and replace it with a new one.

You can find a new keyboard for Inspiron 9400 series laptops here for less then $20.

My previous post explains how to add more memory and upgrade the video card.

If you are replacing the keyboard because of missing or broken keys, check out my previous post about fixing individual keyboard keys. Maybe it’s not necessary to replace the whole keyboard.
